In a race against time, they decide to use their newfound powers to escape. But when the adults find out, they will discover that not only are their lives at stake, but also the fate of the human race.

I‘m baffled as to why this story was told from the pov of a female character. She‘s not like the other girls in her dorm, you see. The boys, according to male author, seem mostly okay. And just…you didn‘t have to do that. This story could have taken place in a single gender creepy school/government holding pen. At one point a group of kids plan an escape, multiple boys talk. The girls? Set dressing.
